Glutathione transferase

GSTT1, GSTM1, and GSTP1 polymorphisms and chemotherapy response in locally advanced breast cancer

A. L. Oliveira, Rodrigues, F. F. O., Santos, R. E., Aoki, T., Rocha, M. N., Longui, C. A., and Melo, M. B., GSTT1, GSTM1, and GSTP1 polymorphisms and chemotherapy response in locally advanced breast cancer, vol. 9, pp. 1045-1053, 2010.

The glutathione S-transferase (GST) family consists of phase II detoxification enzymes that catalyze the conjugation of toxic substances, such as chemotherapeutic agents, to glutathione. We examined whether GSTT1/GSTT1“null”, GSTM1/GSTM1“null” and GSTP1Ile105Ile/GSTP1Ile105Val polymorphisms are associated with different response rates to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of stage II and III breast cancer.
